Set against the lush summer setting of Green Gulch Farm, this day-long workshop invites participants to explore the season of growth, expansion, and joy through Zen and Daoist teachings, together with insights from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
In TCM, summer is linked to the Heart, the organ system associated with awareness, connection, and emotional balance. As energy naturally turns outward in this season, the day offers a chance to stay open while also remaining grounded, calm, and centered. Through meditation, gentle movement, and reflection, participants will look at ways to support both body and mind during the height of summer, allowing growth to emerge with clarity and ease.
Please come dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for meditation and outdoor walking.
